To Whom it May Concern:
I am contacting you in regards to the Business Technology Teacher position that is open at your
school. As you will see from my resume, I have recently completed my student teaching
internship and I will soon finish my first year of teaching. My educational background in
Business Education at the University of Arkansas, along with my professional experience, makes
me an excellent candidate for this position.
Throughout my internship and my first year of teaching I have created challenging and engaging
lessons for each of my classes. Each day before the students leave my class they are given an
exit slip. This slip allows me to assess what they learned in class and can also motivate the
students to relate the content back to their own lives. The next day, after I have looked over all
of the exit slips, students and I will discuss them and I will answer any questions they may have.
This assessment tool and other learning activities are implemented daily in my classroom. I
have worked with the Microsoft IT Academy and proctored Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint
certification exams in Computer Applications I and II. Each day I create a post on Edmodo or
Google Classroom that contains the goals for the day. Students can then log into their accounts
to view the post and access any files I may have attached. I feel that one of my strengths is
building relationships with the students. I attend many events outside of the school and attend
field trips as the FBLA adviser. I believe that the good rapport I have worked to establish with
the students at Heritage High School and now at Western Grove High School will also carry over
into your school.
If you have questions, or if you would like to schedule an interview, please contact me at (870)
688-2189. I look forward to meeting with you to further discuss this employment opportunity
at your school.
Sincerely,

Katherine Grice
